While mother figures should be celebrated every day, we know that Mother\u2019s Day is an extra special excuse to shower some affection. Flowers are a go-to choice for making a gesture that shows your care and are the ideal gift for sending from afar.<\/p>\n

We chatted to Asta Foufas, Head of Product at Arena Flowers, to find out how to pick the best flowers for Mother\u2019s Day bouquets so you can get organised for Sunday 27 March, plus she shares top tips for styling and making your blooms last longer.<\/p>\n

Which flowers are in season in March?<\/h2>\n

Beautiful spring tulips are in abundance at this time of year and look striking on their own or arranged with other seasonal flowers or greenery.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your most popular Mother\u2019s Day bouquet?<\/h2>\n

From our letterbox collection, the Spring Favourites, a mix of delicate-scented hyacinths and pastel-coloured tulips, is a popular choice.<\/p>\n

For the bouquets, it would either be the Mother\u2019s Day Tulips, or the Darling Mum, which features arrangements of lisianthus, charmelia, roses and snapdragons in different shades of pink.<\/p>\n

Is there a particular flower that\u2019s on trend at the moment?<\/h2>\n

Rather than a specific variety, I would say fresh flowers in neutral colours or soft toned palettes are cropping up a lot. And of course there\u2019s a big demand for ethical and sustainable flowers, something which Arena specialises in.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re also seeing a lot of dried flowers, a trend that\u2019s back from the 80s, but now they are more stylish and beautiful.<\/p>\n

How do you choose the right vase for displaying your blooms?<\/h2>\n

When picking the right vase, first consider the size of your bouquets. The length of the stems should be no more than one-and-a-half to two times the height of your selected vase. I find the most suitable shape for all bouquets is the hourglass vase, which is wide at the bottom and slightly flared at the top.<\/p>\n

What are the basic rules of flower arranging?<\/h2>\n
